AlgaeRevive: Harnessing Algae Power for Eutrophication Reduction and Blue Growth
Duration 30 months (09/2024 - 03/2027)
​
PP5 (ELGO) will conduct a pilot focusing on Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) system in Greece, demonstrating a sustainable aquaponics model that uses the interdependencies among different species—fish, algae, and plants—to improve environmental health and enhance economic viability. The pilot will assess the system’s effectiveness in reducing nitrates levels in the water, improving water quality and create an optimum and more hospitable environment for aquatic life. The project seeks to demonstrate improvements in crop yield, reduce reliance on synthetic chemicals, and assess the environmental and economic benefits of these algae-derived products and biofertilizers. Results will be disseminated through research publications, stakeholder workshops, and collaborations with industry to encourage wider adoption and integration into national agricultural strategies.
